I just learned of the passing of Prof. Arvind. He was not only my professor, but also a warm human being who opened his home to a hungry and homesick undergraduate. I will never forget the Diwali at his home where he invited me and my friend among others from the MIT community. After the aarti, he told us stories of his graduate school days where he often longed and dreamt of pakoras from home. He then invited us to feast, and we ate well that night. Dear prof Arvind, in addition to your wisdom, it is your kindness that we will pass on to future generations.
